Mirror's Edge

At first glance...a reflection. On the other side...reality.  Is it real, or is it distorted?  Explore where reflection meets the real world - where fantasy meets reality.  Discover the characteristics and emotions of this uniquely beautiful, yet terrifying moment as we breach the Mirror’s Edge.
